I have seen the sun shatter
into a million pieces upon your chest
it told our story –
in poetry we spoke
from left to right
in mystic tongues,
we etched our names
in all that light
then flipped to last page,
our happy ending.

Loved the mystic tongues image & use as title. Well done, TS.
Glad they had their happy ending.

Thanks Lisa! I appreciate your comments!
🙂 You are welcome.
I am literally swooning right now 😀 I really love how you begin with the opening image of the sun and the idea that it shatters “into a million pieces upon your chest/it told our story – in poetry.”.. it is glorious, poignant, passionate and has a lasting impact on the reader 💝 I always savor your poems and save them for the last. You never disappoint 🙂
Thanks so much🥰 I’m glad my poems haven’t disappointed, I am enjoying the group at dVerse and appreciate all the kind words 💖
I love the honesty in all that light. Where else could it lead but to a happy ending!
Thanks Mary! I think we all need a magical place to hang out this week and I’m enjoying reading everyone’s happy poems.
Beautiful depiction of a special kind of happiness!
I felt a flood of romance in the opening lines, Tricia, and I love the lines:
‘we etched our names
in all that light
then flipped to last page,
our happy ending’.
Thanks so much, Kim! 💖
The sun shattering on someone’s chest is a powerful image, it seems to speak of youth, of love. Thank heaven for living happy every after!
Thanks, Francis! I love happy endings myself 💗
Skipping to our happy ending has a note of finality about it that makes me pause. Maybe you’re right, happiness can’t last and when we get there, we have nowhere left to go.
I think happy endings are mainly for books. In real life they are moments spread out in our stories. We have to choose to flip there. 🙂
The ending being the point where we are set on an even keel, ups and downs but no more falling out 🙂
Yes!
I love how you went from the passion of a morning shared to a happy ending.
Trying to find my happy place, haha!
I like the visual of the sunlight shattering across a lover’s chest. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ali, I appreciate your comment! 🙂

Thanks so much! I appreciate you visiting!
My pleasure.
